- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, North Coast Peru, Chimu, ca. 1100 to 1470 CE. A fine gathering of four textile fragments composed of tightly-woven camelid (alpaca or llama wool fibers) in hues of crimson, marigold, wheat, salmon-pink, coffee, and cream. The largest fragment features a series of abstract zoomorphic creatures with curled snouts, rectangular eyes, and triangular tails. The next panel shows a pair of mirrored abstract creatures with diamond-shaped eyes and mouths as well as repeating diamonds adorning the slender bodies. The third panel exhibits two rows of repeating feline figures in either red or black hues. The fourth panel illustrates five abstract avian creatures with simplified bodies and petite heads with drooping beaks. A wonderful collection from ancient Peru! Mounted under glass. Lucite display stand for photography purposes only. Size of largest (abstract zoomorphs): 6.9" W x 4" H (17.5 cm x 10.2 cm); size (frame): 8" W x 10" H (20.3 cm x 25.4 cm).
